BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Travel Books at the Motorcycle Live show at the NEC

Hi All,
I'm chuffed as nuts! I’m book signing at Motorcycle Live Show at the NEC. If you are planning to go, please do pop on over to the Traveldri Plus stand in Hall 2 www.traveldriplus.com – next to the KTM stand. We will have all my books on sale there, plus Les has expanded his range to include a great selection of other adventure motorcycle travel books. Of course he will also have his usual excellent selection of travel kit goodies. He tells me that he’s lined up quite a few special offers just for the show.

On different days you also have the chance to get books signed by the likes of Simon Gandolfi – Old Man on a Bike (and he has some very interesting news for everyone), Simon Roberts – Tea with Bin Laden’s Brother (A completely unique and very readable book) and Chris Scott (who you bloomin well ought to know! ). There’s also a rumour that Austin Vince might roll in too, but tying him down is an easier said job than done!



The second bit of news is for those of you planning to come to the show, and for those in the UK or Ireland who can’t make it.
  • If you are going to be at the NEC we are going to give away a £15.99 ‘Tortillas to Totems’ T-shirt, free to each person who buys 3+ of my books. That’s for as long as the T-shirts last! You can solve a lot of Christmas present ideas this way, and keep one for yourself! Just a thought...
  • If you can’t make it to the NEC, log on to our website www.sam-manicom.com as we have a limited period special offer for you too.
Happy travels,
Sam and Birgit
PS We are delighted with the Media Reviews Tortillas to Totems : Reviews : Sam Manicom and the Readers Feedback Tortillas to Totems : Feedback : Sam Manicom we have so far on my latest book Tortillas to Totems! Many thanks to everyone who has been involved with those. I really appreciate your thoughts. They keep me on track!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
